Grand Forks, North Dakota; the instructior and dual student were making a run-on landing with the CFI riding the controles as the dual student flew the helicopter. The student was using the throttle for yaw control. Roportendly, he rolled off too much throttle, and the CFI announced, "I have it". The student was slow to relinquish and the CFI experienced difficulty rolling the throttle up with the student still on the controles. The CFI initaited a flare, but the tail rotor struck a vehicle barricade. The barricade was located near the approach end of the runway, and it projected about 12 inches above the runway surface.

The helicopter rolled over during an emergency landing following a severe vibration and loss of antitorque control. The pilot stated that he was descending from 7,500 feet msl with an indicated airspeed of 125 knots in mountainous terrain and light turbulence. The first indication of trouble was a loud snap sound from the rear of the helicopter, followed by violent airframe vibrations. The pilot reported that there were no unusual vibrations in any of the controls. He made a right turn to land on the best available terrain. As the turn was completed, antitorque control was lost, and the helicopter began a series of rapid clockwise spins. The helicopter spun at least three times before impact. Examination of the helicopter revealed a torsional failure of the tail rotor drive shaft at 8 inches forward of the aft Kamatics coupling. This failure is consistent with a tail rotor sudden stoppage. Leading edge tail rotor blade damage was observed to both blades, with red and blue color and material transfers evident. Examination of the tail rotor blade leading edges by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer of the accumulation revealed the material to be of a cellophane base. TTAF 7772

Made forced landing at Highfield School, Station Road, Market Bosworth due to loss of power on a flight from Ripley to Stratford-on-Avon via Coventry. The helicopter's landing skids, tail rotor and gearbox were damaged. (details)

The helicopter lost of control during landing on a private filed (farm of the pilot) in Hesston, Kansas (near Newton Airport). On final approach to the farm, the pilot encountered some swirling winds. He decided to abort the landing because it was dusk and proceed to Newton Airport as planned. While adding power, he heard the transmission or the rotor blades making an unusual noise. The pilot decided to make a precautionary landing in the golf course next to farm that the pilot knwe well. During the slide on landing, the helicopter impacted an object that put the helicopter into a hover. As the settled back to the ground, the helicopter rolled to the right and the pilot was unable to stop it. TTAF
